Prepositions of time tell us about when something happened. 'At' is one of the most common prepositions when dealing with time. Prepositions can be easy when you learn the rules and hear lots of examples of how to use them correctly.
Prepositions of time can be confusing. 'On', 'in' and 'at' are small words, but they can have a lot of different meanings depending on the context. In this video we are going to focus on 'at', in the context of time. We use 'at' to talk about something happening:
at night
at the weekend
or, at an exact or particular time
for example at 3
